Air Fryer Falafel
Air fryer falafel gets you a crisp outside without a pot of oil, and the step that makes it work comes before the food processor: spread the rinsed chickpeas in the basket and run them at 300F for about eight minutes to dry them out. Wet chickpeas make falafel that falls apart. After that it’s onion, parsley, garlic, chickpea flour and the spice mix — cumin, coriander, cardamom and a little cayenne — blended to a crumbly paste and chilled for an hour or two before you shape it.

- After rinsing and draining your chickpeas, spread them out on the air fryer basket so they don't overlap. Set the air fryer to 300F for around 8 minutes to dry out the beans.
- In a food processor, add all the ingredients and blend until a crumbly paste forms.
- Move the batter to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Once ready, form the falafel mixture into round balls using a cookie scoop or wet hands (so the mixture doesn't stick to you). Place the balls on the air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Set the air fryer to 350F. Bake for 14 minutes until golden on the outside. Enjoy (especially with homemade hummus)!
